## Job description

## About Dataleap

Dataleap is the agentic operating system for the enterprise: a coding agent for business users. With Dataleap, teams build, scale and manage agentic systems, where agents, apps and chat work as one connected system. Agents do the grunt work, and humans add judgment from their own cockpit. We're backed by YC and angels like Aravind (Perplexity) and Rahul Vohra (Superhuman). Tens of thousands of our agents run at scale-ups and Fortune 500 companies. Revenue is doubling every month, and demand is bigger than we can handle.

## The role

I'm Jan, Co-founder and CEO. I need a sharp generalist next to me to turn our biggest growth priorities into results. One week you're building the business case for an enterprise deal. The next, you're running an agent hackathon at a customer or testing a new segment.

## What you'll do

- Drive strategic projects. Work with the founders on top priorities, bringing research, analysis and clear recommendations to key decisions.
- Make our customers win with Dataleap. Build alongside customers, prove the value with the first agents, and scale adoption, from hackathons to C-suite rollout strategy.
- Shape our go-to-market. Explore segments, test growth plays, support enterprise deals, and sharpen how we tell the Dataleap story.
- Connect customers and product. Turn customer insights into concrete feedback and help shape our product.
- Run growth as an agentic system. Agentify your way out of the job.
- Own projects end-to-end. Define the problem, bring the right people together, and drive it to a clear outcome.

You're a fit if

- You're an ex-founder or have 1–3 years in a high-growth startup, VC or consulting.
- You're an AI power user. Not "exploring AI": you live in it. You ship agents on weekends and have opinions on model routing, eval design, and where current systems break.
- You're high agency with a high clock speed. You drive the agenda, prioritize ruthlessly, and communicate sharply and to the point.
- You're low ego and high ownership. You'll do the unsexy work without flinching. You want to work hard and be deeply obsessed.
- You're commercially sharp. Renewals, expansion and navigating many stakeholders are second nature.
- You're great with people. You can walk into a room of executives and lead it, and customers and senior stakeholders trust you quickly.
- You speak native German and fluent English, and you're based in Munich or ready to move here.

I'll index heavily on energy, values and slope.

## Why join us

We're in a unique moment in time. For the next few years, enterprise agents will reshape how people work, and we're at the epicenter of that shift. We're looking for the first 15 exceptional people to lead this change. You'll work side by side with the founders, own projects that move the company, and help build the foundations of our Munich office. You'll be at the frontier of how the world's biggest companies change, and you'll grow even faster than they do. You'll build alongside ex-founders who know what it takes to break through walls. Bring your energy, take ownership, and build with us.

## How we work

We operate like athletes. High standards, high output, and we enjoy the ride together.

## How we hire (~2 weeks)

Meet me and Sacha (CoS) → take-home on a real problem → meet the team → offer.

## About Dataleap

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Dataleap builds the Agentic Operating System for enterprises, enabling business teams to create AI employees (agents) without engineering assistance.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; Y Combinator S24)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA (also has office in Munich, Germany)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Jan Damm (CEO) and Jan-Hendrik Ruettinger (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI / Agentic Automation
- **Target customers**: B2B – tech-forward companies ranging from 2-person startups to 2,000-person unicorns; later expanding to all companies.
- **Mission**: “Make knowledge work at your computer fun” – give non-engineering roles (sales, ops, HR) the same AI superpowers that engineers get with tools like Cursor and Claude Code.

## Products & Services
- **Dataleap Platform**: A cloud-based agentic work platform that lets business users describe tasks in natural language and have autonomous AI agents execute them. Features include:
  - 200+ pre-built integrations with common tools (Confluence, ServiceNow, Okta, etc.)
  - Support for custom HTTP APIs and MCP servers
  - Custom interfaces with action buttons generated from user data
  - Human-in-the-loop approvals, reviews, and handoffs
  - Multi‑model support to choose the best LLM for each task
  - Triggers from app events, schedules, and webhooks

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Total Funding**: **$3M** (announced Feb 4, 2026) – raised exclusively from founders and operators. Previous rounds: $500k pre-seed and $125k seed from Y Combinator.
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (Harj Taggar), BOOOM VC (Felix Plapperer), Wayfinder (Yuri Sagalov), Founders Inc., Alliance, Ritual Capital, Nomad Capital, Phosphor Capital, Rebel Ventures; angel investors include Aravind Srinivas (Perplexity), Rahul Vohra (Superhuman), Hanno Renner (Personio), and others.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Team size grew from ~5 to 6 employees (+40% yearly LinkedIn growth)
  - 2,208 LinkedIn followers (+61.8% year over year)
  - Active job postings (3 open roles) with monthly increase of +50%
  - Customers ranging from startups to 2,000‑employee unicorns
  - Creating a new category they call **“vibe working”** – blending close AI collaboration with background automation

## Competitive Advantages
- **Agent‑first interface**: No visual workflow builder or long setup (differentiated from tools like n8n and ChatGPT conversational agents).
- **Cloud‑first**: Agents run in the cloud, ensuring knowledge is not lost locally.
- **Enterprise‑ready**: 200+ integrations, human‑in‑the‑loop controls, approvals, and ability to use the best model per task without vendor lock‑in.
- **Crafted experience**: Self‑described as “the Linear of our category” – focused on reliability, ease of use, and virality within organizations.

## Strategic Focus
- Decentralize agent building – give power to domain experts instead of central business automation teams.
- Redefine knowledge work: elevate AI agents from one‑off tasks to persistent background workers.
- Expand from tech‑forward companies to all enterprises.
- Continue building the “agentic operating system” that absorbs and replaces traditional software categories.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, agile team (6 people) with a strong mission and high ownership; described as building “the future of work.”
- **Work environment**: Hybrid/office – roles open in San Francisco (HQ) and Munich, Germany.
- **Compensation & equity**: Founding‑level roles with salary ranges:
  - San Francisco: $120K – $250K + 0.20% – 1.00% equity
  - Munich: €90K – €150K + 0.10% – 0.50% equity
- **Notable perks**: Work with YC‑backed team, access to top AI models, and direct impact on product direction. The founders come from Google, BCG, and Oxford AI research.
- **Who they look for**: “Extremely good” individuals who resonate with redefining work – currently hiring Founding Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer (Munich), and Deployment Strategist.
